This right wing AI problem has gotten even crazier than you realize.
YouTube might have just killed off part of the next generation of content Trump's TPS problem has even some Republicans begging him to and the invidious circular financing situation just got we're talking about all of that and even more on today's brand new Philip DeFranco show.
You daily dive into the news starting with this. right wing commentators and right wing organizations.
They have jumped on the AI train and they've taken it to a really, really weird new Right. I'm not even talking about whatever the fuck these thumbnails are.
They are bringing the Founding Fathers back from the dead to regurgitate conservative talking and if this sounds familiar, you're most likely thinking about late last year when you had political commentator Glenn Beck sitting down on his podcast with an AI generated and modernized version of George Washington.
And according to Beck, George AI was created using an LLM that Beck himself made and trained on his personal library of founding documents,
and what Beck described as the immediate influences for the Founding The things that they would have read or encountered during their lives, like the and you had him claiming that the LM has no access to the internet
or any modern news that it doesn't know him or his opinions or anything about Donald Trump, Marxism, or really anything after 1820, with Beck writing, our goal is also to remove our own bias.
Except for this We believe the words have built.
Our nation should still be our North but also, even if he's not training it to agree with him, Beck is still dictating exactly the pieces of historical record that it's trained Right.
Glenn decides what this thing knows, what questions it gets asked, and how the 18th century political language gets translated from modern so it's not really surprising that George AI just started spouting opinions that sound fresh out of a right wing think If I'm honest.
America's biggest problem isn't political or economic. It it's all moral. You've drifted from the virtues that make liberty possible in the first place.
Freedom to be free. You have to have discipline. You have to have faith. You have to have character. And if you don't have any of those things, laws.
Laws can't stop anything. They mean little government turns, either weak or oppressive.
You have grown skeptical of truth.
You're reckless with debt you're comfortable blaming instead of building anything. right. And then shocker, you know I'm not a big Glenn Beck guy.
So I thought this was like a one and done thing, but apparently right. And so flash forward to March of this year. The first strikes from the US against Iran have happened.
And Beck asks George AI about Specifically, he starts challenging the real George Washington's warnings against foreign entanglements. And this is how the AI responded.
Peace is not the default. It has to be guarded deliberately with foresight and strength.
A homeowner who never locks their door isn't more peaceful. They're just more vulnerable.
By showing potential adversaries that the United States could stand united, respond quickly, and protect its liberties that it understands.
I believed conflict could be prevented before it exploded. it's not just Beck.
Conservatives have absolutely loved invoking the Founding Fathers to back up their points of using AI like this. It takes a rhetorical trick and it turns it up to write?
What better way to paint your opinion is the morally correct and patriotic one, than have it regurgitated by the digital mouth of a Founding the thing is, this goes beyond just some podcast this is something you've seen the federal government embrace.
Are you at the white House partnering with PragerU to create a historical exhibit called the Founders it's this collection of more than 80 paintings, including portraits of the 56
who signed the Declaration of Independence and some key events from American along with dozens of AI generated short videos of those paintings coming to life to tell their and among those, you have an AI, John Adams, giving this interesting little tidbit, which sounds very familiar.
Facts are stubborn things, and whatever may be our wishes or inclinations, they cannot alter the state of facts.
In other words, friend facts do not care about our feelings.
yeah, you've got an AI generated version of the second president of the United States quoting Ben Shapiro.
and that whole collection is being distributed across the The white House encouraged states to hang the Founders Museum in their own capitals, embassies and schools, with Nebraska and Florida
both displaying at least pieces of now you've seen this whole resurrection thing trickling all the way down to the right wing content world, with even smaller channels giving AI generated Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin an edgy podcaster vibe.
Jefferson here. I tried stopping it, but looks like you morons let a Federal Reserve happen. So I'm going to ask the fed chairs what it's all about.
So what kind of up secret rituals do you guys get up to in your spare time?
Well, I tried to warn you guys, but now interest rates are your new God, and you're glued to your phones every time the swamp creature comes out to tell you whether rates will stay up or Ben Franklin.
Here I was playing with my kite in a lightning storm and ended up in the present day, crime ridden capital. Let's check on the state of this filthy shithole. So how many people in government now?
At least 3 million, if you don't count the military. And we're pretty much always hiring. Dude, what the fuck? well there's so many issues with these.
One of the most obvious ones is we do obviously not know what these people would think about modern day issues, whatever computer impersonating them might Right.
George Washington Thomas Jefferson didn't have thoughts or opinions about social media, transgender rights, Trump, abortion, die, whatever.
now you can have any creator or the fucking government make some slop and go see. they can literally try to manufacture historical authority.
then there's also the revisionist history side of You've had more experts raising the alarm about AI and its capacity to muddle history with, for example, Brandon Gillis,
the director of teaching and learning for the American Historical Association, I have real concerns about the extent to which they weave together words that are preserved in primary sources from historical figures with other sort of commentary.
it's not always clear when the historical figures actually said the words that are coming out of their mouth or wrote them down, and when this is the work of whoever scripted
then also very notably, that is not the only I news in the headlines right now, because there is a lot of debate over this question.
do YouTube just successfully kill AI slop or they're small creators.
that's what you get people asking, as many are super pissed off at YouTube right now.
because YouTube's changing its requirements to be eligible for the partner program Right.
So for new creators applying for and premium revenue sharing, on top of having a thousand subscribers, you'll also need 8000 watch hours over the last year or 20 million shorts views over the last 90 days.
well this new threshold won't apply to creators already in the program. Right. They're grandfathered in. There are changes that will impact everyone.
because in order to get add in subscription revenue sharing on shorts, you'll need 10 million shorts views over the last 90 days to be eligible.
if you fall below that threshold, you can still remain in the partner program and can make money off of long form content, but you won't see any cash from shorts until you cross that 10 million view benchmark. Again.
those changes take effect starting February 1st, 2027. though they also do not impact every level of the program. Right. Eligibility for fan funding and shopping products remains the same.
and you've got YouTube saying that it will also provide more opportunities to earn by expanding premium light, arguing that by increasing the subscribers here, creators will get more earnings. immediately with this.
You had tons of people live it. Right. Arguing that all this is going to do is hurt. Small creators saying 8000 hours over 365 days.
Averages 22 hours of watch time every single day for a full year before your first ad dollar million views in 90 days is 220,000 views a day.
Saying this doesn't reward hard work for small creators starting out, this only rewards virality.
And adding so many social media apps are generating millions and billions of views from videos that creators make, and those creators are not profiting anything.
and you've got other is also incredibly upset that people already in the program have to fight for views to keep shorts revenue.
then as far as YouTube, you had them trying to explain the reasoning behind these changes in a video yesterday.
And these are just, adjustments based on the amazing growth of the creator ecosystem over the last several years.
the kinds of content, the way you consume that content, the formats have all change exponentially over the last several years.
And so we want to make sure that the earnings you get from the program are meaningful and allow you to reinvest in your channel. And all of these changes when you step back.
We still expect to pay more out next year to creators than we will this year.
then you have many online reading and other reasons why and largely blaming it on the boom of AI slop.
Because just like every other social platform, YouTube has seen a massive influx of just AI garbage content getting pumped out and turning a profit.
in fact, according to a report from The Guardian last year, nearly 1 in 10 of the fastest growing channels globally were fully AI generated. and you've had big YouTube creators like voice critical saying.
YouTube is experiencing a flood. Really? A fucking pandemic.
A plague of AI slop that is just truly infecting the platform with STDs, the likes of which you could never even fathom.
these AI channels are infinitely springing up because they take actually seconds to make, and they are hitting these milestones, the previous milestones, very quickly.
Obviously inorganically not authentically, and a lot of times it is just fraudulent. But they have been able to squeeze a lot of money from the YouTube partner program.
And I imagine that's played a pretty big role in YouTube now, upping the requirements to hopefully combat that. so with all this.
Right, as a result, you have some kind of supporting these changes, saying that, quote, think it's necessary with everything that's happened to YouTube lately. see how the changes affect everything.
But hopefully we start to see YouTube get back to the way it was saying, if this lowers the amount of AI that gets monetized, I'm all for it.
you've got some thinking that by specifically increasing the watch hours required, it gives YouTube systems more time to find and flag AI channels before they make money.
and while I will say I'm skeptical of that because just the scale of YouTube is so massive.
you also have some who don't care what the reason is, arguing $4.3 trillion company slashes the number of people it is willing to share ad revenue with, and you think it's a good thing?
and then you also have plenty of people doubting these new changes would meaningfully crack down on AI slop. Anyways.
Saying things like, if these are the channels, finding it easy to reach monetization quickly, then why would they stop? Because the bar got higher. If anything, it seems like they'd go harder with a low effort content.
Essentially arguing if YouTube really wanted to crack down on just AI, they can actually improve their moderation system so they wouldn't be bringing down real human creators with the machines.
ones.
So I will say it's worth noting that YouTube is not expressly said that I slop has actually anything to do with these rule changes. right.
It might be involved with the thinking behind the scenes, but this is largely just what a lot of creators and viewers think right now.
and a big thing with that is you actually have that coming is all over the industry. There are some efforts to crack down on AI slop. Right?
Just today, we learned that Spotify is now labeling AI content on its platform so that users aren't deceived into thinking that they're listening to a real human artist when they're not.
Spotify will also not include music from AI personas in any editorial or algorithmic recommendations.
those features will begin rolling out in September, with the company saying true artists fan connection can only be built on a foundation of trust in authenticity and music
that means listeners need to be able to trust that the artist behind the music is who they say they that listeners have been clear and telling us that they don't like seeing an artist profile that seems human, only to find out that the persona is AI generated.
again, they're not alone. Even on LinkedIn, they introduced a button to report AI slap on the platform. ultimately what we're gonna have to wait to see how this plays out. Where I stand is looking at these changes.
It looks like this is going to be something that benefits me. Right. Either generally or specifically with shorts content.
they actually have another YouTube channel called DeFranco News Clips that gets, I think, around 150, 160 million views every 90 days.
so anything that increases our money on those shorts views, that's obviously positive for us.
But for the change in general, I think based off of how it's been described, I'm not for it. right. A very pro new creator. Pro small creator.
I think that this could also specifically discriminate against niche channels. to a certain extent, it feels like YouTube's sending out different messages. They'll talk about like, hey, be careful, we don't want you burning out.
But then also they're like, hey, better hit that fuckin view number. Otherwise we're just cutting off the shorts money.
the people most likely to be impacted are the people where every single dollar matters even more. and again, that's before even mentioning the. Is this a crack down on eye slop angle? Right.
Because one, at least at this point, it doesn't appear to be part of, YouTube's official narrative here or argumentation. and two. I don't know how it would crack down on AI slop they can make.
They can make content at the the boom. Done. There's more. at that rate compared to even the low effort human shorts. was you're going to take longer, but hey, that's situation.
We're going to see what happens from here. And in the meantime, I'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts, opinions and reactions? and then we've got to talk about this news out of Massachusetts. There's a lot of people up in arms.
But first on August 21st and 22nd, I'll be seeing y'all live in Seattle and Portland.
And then August 28th and 29th, I'll be in Boston and Philadelphia said, hey, you should grab your tickets right now at Crashing Out. Tor.com. get out from behind the screen.
Be around other beautiful bastards.
Plop your butt in a seat and crash out with me and my second favorite it is honestly a lot more fun than a PDF, but still so again, get your tickets right now while you can at crashing on tour and then two.
We'll be right back after a quick Have you ever had someone do something unexpectedly thoughtful that you just, you know, just stuck with Right.
Like, I think back to someone going out of their way to help me with something that wasn't even the responsibility. it just took a little extra minute.
But I still remember and it's funny how those small efforts, they can tell you a lot about if you're hiring today's sponsor.
ZIP recruiter, that's your They help you find candidates who are more than just a resume on a Right. Candidates can tell you in their own words why they're Because a resume.
It shows you what someone's done.
But understanding why they want that job, it can tell you a lot you can actually try it for free right now at zip recruiter. and zipper.
Krueger has a new feature that shows you the most interested qualified candidates So you meet the right people and they're powerful matching technology. It helps find qualified candidates right.
So you're not wasting our sorting through people who never were a fit to begin so it ends up not being surprising that ZIP Recruiter is the number one rated hiring app according to G2 mean you got to try it
try it recruiter and meet great candidates who will go the extra step for four out of five employers who post on ZIP recruiter.
They get a quality candidate within the first So yeah, try it for free today at ZIP Recruiter DeFranco. That zip recruiter. ZIP recruiter.

Meet your match on zip recruiter.
then jumping right back into the news, you now have up to 350,000 Haitians just waiting for that knock on their door right waiting to be told that their temporary protected status has finally been because their TPS
was originally going to end in February, but a judge extended it at the last and so in the meantime, you would congressional Democrats trying to convince the extension into law, but they were blocked by Republicans.
TPS was created for emergencies. Democrats turned it into a one way racket towards permanent mass migration.
and well now, after the Supreme Court gave Trump the green light to finally end TPS, Ice has reportedly been planning to ramp up operations to arrest and deport Haitian migrants.
with that, you Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen telling News Nation. in its name itself, it says temporary protected status. The president has the right to start it.
He also has a right to end it. The president ended it, which was the right call.
So these individuals can either self deport or we will arrest you and send you back. It's that simple. so of course, where else would the Trump administration start its terror campaign?
But Springfield. In Springfield. They are eating the dogs. The people that came in. They're eating the cats. They're eating.
They're eating the pets of the people that live there.
you now have reports that hundreds of Haitian residents have received letters telling them to come to the local Ice office Right when they get there, you've had agents just seizing their passports and clamping
ankle monitors on and then you're seeing as they leave, they're getting met by hundreds of anti ice protesters showing their support for however much that's as we've talked about before,
it's not normal for immigration agents to use ankle monitors as a matter of routine like this, largely because it's arguably just not necessary. Right. TPS holders, they're not undocumented.
We know who they are, where they are. They don't really have anywhere to go. And they almost always show up to their immigration appointments.
and so if it's not strictly necessary, the norm has been to avoid ankle monitor is not least because they're humiliating and carry a massive actually you have examples like this one Springfield resident saying he got fired from his job because his boss feared how the monitor would be perceived.
you've also had reports of pregnant women being forced to wear the devices.
you've also had this video going viral of a man collapsing on the ground in tears while agents put the bracelet on
and you've had many center and left reacting to that with, you know, ordinary human emotions like shock, anger and sorrow You had many others shedding notes here with, for example,
this conservative influencer, Andy No writing it, he felt dramatically in front of the cameras because he doesn't want to go those who were offered temporary status believe they should be given the right
to stay forever and bring over their family with Oppo is then provoking a number of discussing responses from people on the left with, for example, Jesse single This isn't like a video of a migrant committing a crime.
Andy is just trying to juice engagement out of abject human misery and genuine bigots. His own fucking parents emigrated from Vietnam.
History zigs or zags one inch and they're the ones collapsed on the ground and also what can be said about this guy in the video.
It can be said for the other 350,000 Haitians who just lost TPS, by and large, they're not criminals. They're not the worst of the worst. They're just people who fled violence in their country of right.
In Haiti specifically, 90% of the country's ruled by violent gangs, millions of people, they've been displaced. Hundreds have been killed in just the past few months.
even Trump's own State Department has a level four travel advisory warning against going to Haiti because of crime, terrorism, kidnaping and unrest.
In fact, ironically enough, it's difficult to self deport even if you want to, because commercial flights are banned from going to the islands capital.
and so instead, what you're saying is that more deportation flights have landed at a smaller airport on the coast, but also there's much less intake capacity Which is then why you've only seen about one flight per month, with the most recent one going on July 16th carrying just over 100 deportees.
And so that also means that there hasn't been a flight since the Pts got revoked.
And some on the right are getting impatient about with for example, Steve Bannon whining the airplanes and the busses should have been 100% of the Haitian should have already left the country. It's unacceptable.
They're whether he likes it or not, just stripping someone at TPS doesn't mean that you can deport them the next Right.
By law, which is a thing that normally matters, they have the right to plead their case before an immigration judge, which could take months if not and so unless TPS was the only thing
keeping someone here despite a final order of removal, which is the case for some going to take longer to get rid of them than many conservatives would but also even putting aside
those annoying things called the law and human rights, Trump administration, facing some pressure from the business wing of the party not to be too aggressive with its deportations. or because.
According to researchers at UPenn, about 70% of TPS holders participated in the US labor force, many in construction, in health and so you've had state and local officials from both parties,
as well as business groups like the Chamber of Commerce, making calls to Washington like, you even had Republican Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio, where Springfield is calling the revocation of TPS for Haitians
a mistake and predicted a steep economic toll for his but with the white House they haven't moved as fast as its furthest right supporters want.
The general trend has been TPS getting stripped for hundreds of thousands of people from one country after Afghanistan, Syria,
Honduras, Venezuela, Nicaragua, South Sudan, and on and then you also have for people from many other countries also expiring before the end of the so that's 170,000 Salvadorans, 100,000 Ukrainians and nearly 2000 Sudanese.
meanwhile, you've got ice just going around eyeballing random people on the street and demanding to see also to be clear, like when I say random, I just mean they're picked out regardless of whether Ice knows who they are individually.
When it comes to their group identity, that does not appear to be random in any sense of the right.
You've just got video after videos of agents walking right past people with white skin and instead going straight for folks who look so you've had.
And you hear things like one dark skinned US citizen who worked at a car wash describing how agents ignored his light skinned colleagues, chased him,
tried to tease him even though he was wet, and then cuffed him and put him in a with him adding I kept saying I'm American, but they just kept telling me I was Latino and my documents were false and to stop
and as you might imagine when you're targeting people for no other reason than how they look, that's then bound to sweep up a fair number of U.S. citizens.
and with that, you have the times finding tons of people who were apparently stopped, questioned or detained, some saying agents refuse to accept their passports or IDs, several saying they were threatened with tasers, tackled or handcuffed.
Others say that they were held for hours before getting and so now you're seeing lawsuits left and right over the stuff. But also crazy it's not even clear what the agents did is illegal.
mean, for at least 50 years, it definitely would have or because the Supreme Court ruled in 1975 that race and ethnicity could not be the sole factor in determining whether to stop
and since then, you've had courts generally holding that the agents need a specific factual basis for believing someone is in the country but in a provisional ruling last year that maybe later overturned or upheld, we'll have to see the Supreme Court upended that consensus.
you the conservative majority ruling that agents can attain someone solely for any of the following reasons their apparent race or ethnicity, the fact that they speak English
with an accent or speak Spanish, their presence in particular locations like farms or pickup sites or day laborers, and the type of work they and so for the time being,
it appears that racial profiling is officially legal for Ice and then next up from that, another viral political news.
Massachusetts just eliminated the cutoff for when women can get abortions and conservatives, they are losing their minds online right now.
because under the previous law, abortion was permitted until 24 weeks around the time of fetal viability. so, any procedure past that was only allowed under very specific circumstances. right.
Like if a pregnant woman's life was in danger, her physical or mental health is at risk, or there was a lethal fetal anomaly or a gray fetal diagnosis.
but this new law removes those limitations instead saying that abortions after 24 weeks will be allowed based on the professional judgment of the physician.
a huge key thing here is that this legislation has been championed by numerous top medical groups, including the National Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine, the Massachusetts Medical Society, and the states chapter of American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
and actually, Massachusetts is far from the first state to do this.
nine other states in Washington, D.C., have also gotten rid of gestational limits for abortion.
with this, you had State Representative Christine Barber, who sponsored the bill, arguing that the previous parameters were too specific and prevented some women from receiving necessary care,
even in extreme circumstances, with her telling reporters, we found that this care is so complicated, there is no way to encompass every possible exception saying it should be between a doctor and a patient.
anyway.
That echoed by Governor Maura Healey during a press conference yesterday after she signed the bill into law.
heard so many stories, stories that are filled with a lot of pain and anguish and heartache and a lot of trauma.
We heard stories about the worst moments of a person's life, of a couple's life.
We're signing this law today so that new patients, people we won't know or won't meet, will be able to get the care that they need in Massachusetts.
and actually a big thing is at that same conference, we also heard remarks from Kate Dineen. Right.
If you haven't heard of her, she's a Massachusetts woman who was directly impacted by the old law and had to travel to D.C. to get an abortion after experiencing serious complications.
2021, I was nearly 33 weeks into a deeply wanted pregnancy just back from our baby moon, and I had a routine ultrasound
that turned into an urgent fetal MRI, and we learned that our son, Teddy, had suffered a catastrophic stroke in utero.
He would either die or survive for some period of time with a spectrum of devastating outcomes.
So at that moment, we learned that Massachusetts has a 24 week abortion ban with very difficult to access exceptions.
Our son's diagnosis was devastating, but it did not qualify for an exception.
Our doctors highly capable hands were tied by Massachusetts state and so with this new change, you had many pro-choice advocates applauding the move.
But of course, on the other side, you had plenty of anti-abortion pro birth folks hitting back, arguing that this law goes too far.
or with a lot of right leaning outlets painting this as a move that will allow women to seek abortions up until the moment they give birth for basically no reason.
Or like you had Fox News running the headline dem governor Maura Healey signed sweeping Massachusetts bill allowing abortions up to birth.
and not only did you have that framing being pushed by Christian or anti-abortion publications. you had places like Gateway Pundit running an article titled Cold Blooded Murder.
Wicked Massachusetts governor signs Bill that allows abortions up to birth. as well as Red state, which went with cult of death. Massachusetts legalizes abortion right up until birth.
then you had voices on the right, like Marjorie Taylor Greene writing, being a mother is the greatest thing I've ever done in my entire life. Abortions up until birth. Unspeakable.
then you had Ted Cruz going a different route saying, Lord, please save us from liberal white women.
and while with this, you had some saying that it erases the last safeguards that limited late term abortions to real medical necessity or lethal diagnoses.
You also had a lot of people hitting back at those criticisms, during the doctors, they still required to be subject to the rules that govern medical practice, including professional standards and harm reduction.
right, arguing that the intent of this law is clearly meant to cover the gaps in protection for women who experience serious complications that weren't covered under the old law.
Reasoning that it won't just allow someone to get an abortion in the week before their due date just because they wanted to. right.
And with that saying, women are carrying pregnancies for nine months and strolling into a clinic during contractions because they suddenly changed their minds.
These are extraordinarily serious medical situations involving actual patients, physicians, and often devastating diagnoses.
and then with that adding, what's vile is turning somebodys medical catastrophe into a dishonest little minute before birth mean because the truth is an inflammatory enough to go viral.
and again, a very big thing here is that what's being discussed here is a very, very, very rare thing.
right, according to CF, even before Rho is overturned, just 1% of all abortions nationwide happened after 21 weeks of pregnancy. it's not even using that 24 week mark.
hey, with all that said, what are your thoughts, opinions and reactions here? and then I've got even more news you need to know in just a minute.
But first, friendly reminder to hit us with a like to keep this daily PDFs in your feeds and subscribe if you're new and then two, we write back after a quick thing that I've learned is that losing focus isn't the expensive part.
It's trying to get it back. right. One slack message, one email one.
I'll just check this real quick, and suddenly you're spending like the next 15 minutes trying to remember where you left off.
and personally, I found that I work a whole lot better when I set myself up to focus, which is why I've been using today's sponsor, Brain FM. right brain.fm.
It's not just music, it's audio engineered by neuroscientists to help your brain focus, relax, sleep, or get creative depending on what you need.
one of the things I like is that it's designed to work with your brain instead of competing with it for attention.
It uses patented neural phase locking technology, and you can even adjust the neural effect depending on how much help you need staying locked in.
they've got modes for deep work, creativity, relaxation, sleep, power naps, even an ADHD mode for people who need an extra boost.
and unlike regular music, brain FM is designed to fade into the background so you can stay focused on the task instead of, you know, the soundtrack.
also, it's the only music app backed by a National Science Foundation grant studying how sound effects focus.
Hey, if you'd like a little help staying focused, head to Brain Data FMT DeFranco or scan that QR code to get 30 days free. Again. That's brain data. FMT DeFranco.

But then finally today, for your last block, I got more news.
You need to know starting with the news around Lauren Boebert, son, who was just arrested on child sexual exploitation Or because back in 2024,
apparently there was a sexually explicit video of Tyler Boebert and a 17 year old girl that ended up on right? He was 18 at the time. And when the girl's mom found out, she contacted the police.
And the investigation kind of grew from he would Tyler reportedly admitting to being the guy in the video, but he said he wasn't the one who recorded it, claiming that it was made without him
be with the girl saying that Boebert made the video with her and set it to her that said, we also probably don't know exactly who uploaded the video, but the affidavit said that investigators found at least one Instagram group chat with around 124 people that helped spread and so all of that.
It finally landed Tyler behind bars on Sunday though since then he's been released after posting his $10,000 bond, and he said to appear in court on August 19th for those charges.
but then he also actually is hearing scheduled for next month for two separate cases that he's and as far as Lauren Boebert, she spoke out and said, I love my take allegations very seriously
and I pray for everyone affected during this challenging And adding it breaks my heart to see my child struggling.
I will never give up on him and I will continue to be there for
and then you've got the news that Nvidia is no longer just selling AI chips.
they're now acting like the central bank AI with a $500 billion warchest and plans to keep the AI circling, funding boom alive. and they're not alone with this plan.
They've managed to convince some of the biggest private equity firms out there.
We're talking Blackrock, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, KKR, Apollo and Brookfield to jump in on the action.
it's looking like Jensen Huang managed to convince them that this was a good idea by offering a 25% backdrop. or which massively decreases the risk for the finance firms.
But as far as why does this even raise a red flag?
it's because we're reaching the point in the AI boom where even massive AI labs and cloud startups aren't just running out of cash to buy Nvidia's insanely expensive chips. that boats already sailed.
But even tokens to use Nvidia's own farms.
and so instead of just selling the digital shovels, Jensen Wang is now helping financing them. all of which inflates the value of everyone involved. right.
Wall Street and Nvidia pull together half a trillion bucks in third party debt and private capital to loan to these AI developers.
those developers, and hand that cash back to Nvidia to buy more GPUs and build AI factories.
you've got so many market analysts calling this BS and saying this is textbook circular financing.
Basically, Nvidia uses its clout to channel money to buyers who turn around and buy Nvidia's chips, which keeps Nvidia's revenue looking sky high, which keeps the AI hype bubble from popping.
in the worst case scenarios, it's everyone trading the same dollar around and around and pretending it's new money injected into the system. Nvidia at least publicly says they don't see it that way.
And they claim that there is immense real world demand for AI, especially for smaller companies and nations, arguing they just lack the credit to build up quickly. And this plan lets them get in on the action.
but either way, and regardless of your opinion, this fundamentally changed the nature of Nvidia.
And I, if we are in an AI bubble, moves like this are going to make that pop that much louder.
then your final thing today is that Trump just signed an executive order making changes to childhood vaccines.
And it actually goes against years of guidance that we've gotten from medical professionals.
So with the order he's calling for fewer routine shots for kids and to separate the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella into three different shots instead of with that vaccine,
he apparently suggested that it could be lethal for kids to get all at I have to stress that the CDC has not back that up at in fact, they said that getting the vaccine in one go is much safer than getting measles, mumps, rubella.
but then outside of that, another overarching concern driving these changes is that he and his team are still pushing the idea that vaccines are giving kids though, again for the millionth time,
there is no scientific evidence to back that with this order, you have medical professionals speaking out, including the ones in Congress or with people like Bill Cassidy saying, I'm a doctor.
This executive order is president does not have the expertise to make these changes.
parents, should listen to their child's pediatrician about vaccines, rather than listening to an inaccurate executive for a guy that helped install RFK Jr.
For many, this feels too little, too also on that note, all of this is coming just a few days after Doctor Erica Schwartz was confirmed as the new head of the CDC.
A huge question ahead of her confirmation was how she would deal with the administration and their vaccine as well as right now we haven't heard from her, you had many health experts this is clearly the first test for her.
The president is placing her in an untenable position. then my friend brings us to the end of your Tuesdays you for watching. I love your faces. I'm gonna try to actually get some sleep tonight.
And I'll see you right back here tomorrow.
